Hi guys.. Bryant has graciously given us a "loaned" IPB 2.1.3, I installed it here:

 

http://pff.swrebellion.com/ipb/upload/

 

The only thing that immediately popped out at me was that all "uploaded" avatars were deleted in the conversion process, although active people can upload them w/o a problem. If you guys have some time, login there and poke around (make posts, replies, etc, or whatever) and if Cain agrees I think we should move to IPB because I am tired of the log in problem.

 

Plus, there's **way** more moderator options in IPB, ;).

 

====

of course this means the admins (ghostly? cain?) will have to set up permissions again, groups, etc

Also, please check out http://pff.swrebellion.com/simple/

It's a "Simple Machines" forum install, this one seemed to be a lot nicer in my opinion. The skin isn't so bad either :). My vote would go for this one IMO. It would also be quicker to move it since I could run a 5-minute script all by myself, heh.

Switch, I still can't get my avatar working. Somebody will have to desing a new skin for that site, however, 'cause it looks horrible.

It bring upon us more of famine, death and war,

I am not sure how to vote as I am having 0 issues today. I think I will wait till something messes up again.

 

Edit: Um, less than 2 min after posting this, I got logged out and an error. Voting now.

I also have no more problems. But you never know when it will start again :)

 

Maybe its moon gravity related? Loll - Sometimes you must battle the forum with 2-3 logins to make a post - after that it calms down for a while...

I'm useing Explorer ;) - it must be something inside the server. Maybe JI should try to reinstall the forum? Will this work? maybe the error will be lost in the procces.

Yes I was just making an example. Well we could always use the stable Invision boards. Just change the skin and its all good :) Or we could always go back to forumer :P Choice is up to you guys.
